Hi guy's hoping some one out there might be able to help me out with this one.

Got a K reg 4.2 td L/C, drive and runs fine, but when I operate the indicators all the dash light's are flashing and so are the side light,s. When I press the brake pedal the indicators come on and so do the side light's and dash light's, HHHHHHHeeeeeeellllllpppppp lol any idea's where to start looking ?

Thanks in advance Dave J Harlow, Essex.

seems like and more likely nis a very poor earth remove the brake pedal sensor and try it then ..if that cures it get a new sensor ..cheapest option and check again ..my only thought ..hope it works for you ..worth a try .. good luck

Bad earth somewhere .
More likely to be in light/indicator units

Thanks for the advise guys, well spent nearly four hours on it today, scratching my head and bum lol, still could'nt find the fault after ripping half the interior out. Bit the bullet and called an auto electrician in. He found it gggrrrrr lol turns out to be a RAT had managed to get in through a grommet hole at the rear where the wiring loom goes through the body, and had happily feasted on the main loom to the O/S/R lamp assembly.

He did all the repair work and now everything is working fine woohoo.

All I got to do now is rebuild it and get it MOT'd
